Most likely your 1.5.2* is from Debian which, on GNU/Linux, enables link_all_deplibs=no which the FSF version doesn't do. Hmm, maybe some old FSF version did, but then backed that out again, I don't remember. You can find out with ./libtool --config | grep "^link_all_deplibs=" Or I completely misunderstood the question and Bob didn't. :-) Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
